1406 - Combined caps of the 31-man squad. At 45 Tests per player, it's easily their most experienced squad to attend the global tournament.

109 - The number of days that make 35-year-old Adam Ashley-Cooper the oldest Wallaby selected for a World Cup. Radike Samo was next oldest when included in 2011.

9 - Players in the squad who have started a Test in the midfield backs. Teenage bolter Jordan Petaia is poised to become the 10th.

7 - Players going to Japan who have already contested at least two tournaments. They are Ashley-Cooper, Kurtley Beale, Will Genia, David Pocock, Rob Simmons, Sekope Kepu and James Slipper.

10 - The number of uncapped Wallabies ever selected for a World Cup. Petaia is the latest addition to the club.
